Zinc Nanoparticles and Sucrose Levels Dramatically Improve In-Vitro Potato Microtuber Production, New Study Finds

A new peer-reviewed study demonstrates that optimizing sucrose concentrations and adding zinc nanoparticles to tissue-culture media significantly accelerates potato microtuber formation, boosts tuber number, and increases tuber weight. The research provides a practical protocol to overcome seed tuber shortages in commercial potato farming.
